I'm Going to Make a Quilt For My Mother
Making a quilt for your mother isn't unusual. However, my mother is 97! I'm planning on giving it to her for Mother's Day. I have been quilting just three years and my first four quilts were baby quilts. Then I made a quilt for my husband and daughter. I'm hoping she lives long enough to see it. She doesn't need a quilt. She learned to quilt probably 15 years ago so has quilts of her own. But since she is the one who taught me to sew way back when, I want to make one for her. When she passes I'll keep it for myself.

I agree with Tinks Mom. I was gong to make a bed quilt for my Mother's 80th birthday and she passed away 7 months before her birthday. I did make her a lap quilt that she used every day and loved but I wish I had made the bed quilt sooner.

Any quilt you gift your mother will be special in her eyes. Instead of a large quilt, you could make her a lap quilt which will take less time. Maybe gift it to her for Valentine's Day or any special day you spend with her.
